The main problem with C++ is that each different compiler imposes its own demangling scheme on the environment. This is an issue not only for Common Lisp (for which a "standard" FFI would be more important at this time) or Ada, but for C++ compiler developers themselves. I would tend to look at a "language independent" approach as ILU as a better solution toward integration of C++ stuff in other languages (and viceversa). -- Marco Antoniotti - Resistente Umano ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robotics Lab | room: 1220 - tel. #: (212) 998 3370 Courant Institute NYU | e-mail: marcoxa@cs.nyu.edu ...e` la semplicita` che e` difficile a farsi. ...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
